I’ve been making a lot of nutrient-dense snack bars lately. There were the copy-cat Larabars, then the raw trail mix bars, and I’ve also made a batch of these bars recently. Besides feeling very satisfied in the snack department, this new granola bar obsession has resulted in tiny amounts of leftover nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, dried fruits, etc.. So last week I went searching for the perfect breakfast cookie recipe, one where I could throw in my remaining tablespoons of pumpkin seeds, goji berries, chia seeds, and cacao nibs. I found all kinds of great recipes worth trying – that I look forward to trying – then I started hearing about 3 and 4 ingredient cookies.

And I was intrigued.

So intrigued that I threw out my original plan to make everything-but-the-kitchen-sink breakfast cookies and made the easiest. cookies. ever.

I did some experimenting with the recipe to come up with what I believe to be the best combo of flavor, healthy benefits, ease, and texture. The result: 4 Ingredient Cookies with chocolate chips and peanut butter. I’m not sure if cookies is the best word – they fall somewhere between a peanut butter oatmeal cookie and warm bites of banana bread heaven – with chocolate. But that title seemed just a little to long for the simplicity of these beauties.

The 4 ingredient cookies contain:

Among the many reasons I love these 4 Ingredient Cookies (and you will too) are:

I’m new to watching what I eat and in this I even use sugar free chocolate chips and half of what’s called for in the recipe and love them. I wonder what that does to the nutrition facts? Thanks for the recipe!

These are great! I thought the dough tasted bland, but the baked cookies turned out really rich and flavorful. One or two of them is enough to satisfy a cookie/sugar craving. Will definitely make them again.

These are absolutely perfect. We started eating them as an “on the go” breakfast about two months ago. I store them in Tupperware in the fridge and serve 3 as a breakfast portion. I always double the recipe and the supply lasts a little over a week. Even at the end of two weeks we have not had a freshness problem. Today is the first time I made them with the Enjoy Life mini morsels. Adding the chocolate takes these up to a delicious, decadent level. Unreal how easy, simple and delicious this recipe is. I’m so glad I found it as it’s a staple in our house now. I’d rate 10 stars if the system would let me. 🙂

Ive made these several times now with sunflower butter (no peanuts in this house). They are so good. I don’t mind letting my toddler eat several in a row where I usually ration cookies to one every couple days. I’ve added raisins and cinnamon. These are super easy and whip up super quick for a nice treat. I’d love to see a Nutrition breakdown for the recipes though.

I was looking for a healthy alternative to my very delicious chocolate chip cookies and this was it! I only had regular oatmeal , so I lightly pulsed in my food processor. I measured out 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas , (about 2 1/2 bananas). Added 1 Tablespoon of ground flax and a pinch of Himalayan sea salt . I doubled the amount of chocolate chips to 1/2 cup and ooolala…a healthy yet sweet tooth satisfying treat…thank you for your inspiration!

Made these again tonight, and this time I added shredded coconut, vanilla, and chopped walnuts. They are soooo good!! The combo was a wild success, tons of flavors, a little crunch, and still so healthy! Will make these again and again.

Just made these for the first time. I used Crazy Richard’s peanut butter so no sugar and added a few drops of vanilla extract and a handful of dried coconut flakes, not the sweetened ones. They’re fabulous!! A keeper for sure.

Love this recipe – thank you. Second batch this week is in the oven as I write this. Second round vanilla and cinnamon was added, not for it was needed, we just wanted to experiment. ?????? Simple, healthy, and delicious ?????? (Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the 5 stars to highlight, via iPad)
